Review and Comments:
The Tale of Peter Rabbit, by Beatrix Potter, is a classic tale that is ready for a new generation. Peter, that scamp of a bunny, does not heed his mother’s warning about Mr. McGregor’s garden or her instructions to stay close to home. He immediately goes to the garden and enjoys quite a feast on all the wonderful vegetables bunnies love to eat. Mr. McGregor spots Peter eating his produce and immediately a pursuit begins. Mr. McGregor runs all over the garden trying to catch him, but Peter is able to escape each close encounter. Peter is completely lost because of the chase and frantically tries to find a way out of the garden. Finally, after much searching, he locates the gate and is free once again. He does not stop running until he reaches the safety of his home and family. By the time he gets home his ordeal has taken its toll. Peter is put to bed and misses out on the delicious dinner that his sisters are able to enjoy. Continue reading Taking Risks as Far as Possible: A Review of “The Tale of Peter Rabbit”
